2016 anniversary of decimal currency

That is one reason I bought several of the boxed/proof sets earlier this year.

I don't have to worry about getting a set from circulation.

Did you get several Proof sets or Mint sets Bruce??

I don't know Trout.

I got the normal proof set then the other set came out in the white cover and nice coins inside.

Me thinks they are the mint set(s) as I pulled one apart and put the coins into my Unc albums.

I hadn't noticed it before, but the RAM is charging GST on the invoices they produce for these coins. ie. the invoice is for $21, but they have only charged my credit card $20. That is for one set of $1 coins plus postage. I guess they then have to pass the GST onto the government coffers, even if they didn't charge it in the first place.

Maybe W.A. is not considered sovereign territory anymore, perhaps a local determination by the RAM, and therefore the GST has been waivered??

I also noticed that and asked them about it. They said to ignore the gst charge on the invoice. It is just some internal procedure they do for some weird reason.

i think coins i.e. legal tender are exempt from the GST
so they probably charge and then credit back

if HRM QEII is on the coin - it's gst free
not so sure about the packaging

Agreed. The only GST should be in the postage.

These are once again "Temporarily Unavailable" already.

Strange that the $2 coins are not yet available as normally you can order them in the wee hours on the day they are released??.

ausjack · September 05, 2016, 08:28:45 AM

Hopefully it shouldn't be too much longer and I can get some out of the pond.

trout · September 05, 2016, 08:46:07 AM

I found them they are hidden on page 4 :dodgy:

ausjack · September 05, 2016, 08:49:08 AM

This is what happens when they release so many new coins in a year, no one can keep up.

I went looking for them -I have an order ready to submit and am just waiting to add those to it.
The RAM shop seems to getting a bit slack lately.

That said and they have just turned up!
